Unknown Language Characters

I was updating a lot of my music the other day with like album info and getting the album art and whatnot, and I noticed that for a lot of my japanese songs, the Japanese characters do not appear for the artist or the songs. They only appear as like white boxes. I'm not sure why it's doing that but then I went on my friends computer and it showed the characters with no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

boxes.
Double check that you have enabled Asian language support on your OS:

NW 7.01 upgrade to 7.3 (BW) - Error: Unknown language short name Z2

Hello,
While upgrading a BW system to NW 7.3, in phase PREP_CONFIGURATION/LANG_SELECT I get the error:
Unknown language short name 'Z2'
and the upgrade cannot continue. The Z2 language is supplemented with English and is working properly in the system.
It is only used so that some BI reports to be presented in that language. It is not a correspodence language. Simulation in transaction i18n reports no errors.
Since no objects are translated in this language, I also thought to remove the language during the upgrade and import it after.
However, even this approach was not possible, since I do not get any screen in the upgrade GUI in order to be able to remove Z2 language. Also searched for Notes and in SDN, but no one seems to have faced such an issue.
The system is a standalone development NW 7.01 SPS 8 in Windows 2008 R2 SP1 with SQL 2008 R2 SP1.
Any help or ideas appreciated.
Thank you,
George.

Hi Sunny,
I do not have any translations to save. Nevertheless, I exported the language before starting the upgrade with SMLT_EX.
I get the error and the upgrade stops. I do not get any screen to remove the language.

George.

Reading a text file with foreign language characters

I'm trying to convert foreign language characters to English looking characters. I have code that works, but only if I hard code the string with foreign language characters and pass it to the function. I cannot figure out how to get my program to read
in the foreign characters from my file, they come in as garbage.
Since the function works when I pass a hard coded string to it, I'm pretty sure the problem is the way I have the Streamreader set up, it's just not reading the characters correctly...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader "m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
removeAccent(currentRec)
ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
Loop
ReplaceWrtr.Close()
End Sub
'Replace foreign language characters with English characters
Function removeAccent(ByVal myString As String)
Dim A As String = "--"
Dim B As String = "--"
Const AccChars As String = "ŠŽšžŸÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars As String = "SZszYAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
Next
removeAccent = myString
End Function
I know that removing the accent changes the meaning of the word, but this is what the user wants so it's what I need to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated!! :)
Thanks!
Joni

Finally got it to work. I had to remove the first 5 characters from the replacement string (ŠŽšžŸ), couldn't find encoding that would handle these, and to be honest, I didn't really need them. The important ones are still there, was probably
just overkill on my part.
UTF7 worked for the rest...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter
ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
removeAccent(currentRec)
ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
Loop
ReplaceWrtr.Close()
End Sub
'Replace foreign language characters with english characters
Function removeAccent(ByRef myString As String)
Dim A As String = "--"
Dim B As String = "--"
Const AccChars As String = "ÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars As String = "AAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
Next
removeAccent = myString
End Function
Thanks for all your help! Greatly appreciated :)

FDM - Errors with Foreign Language Characters in Load Files

For our Netherlands data import file, our source account decriptions contain the character "ë". The account decription is not loaded to HFM, but we are receiving error messages when importing. Is there a way to ignore foreign language characters? Another post suggested "Administration", "Configuation Settings", "File Encoding Type" then set to "Unicode", but the version I am using does not have this option. Version is 11.1.1.3.
Thank you!
Melody

Hello Melody,
If you are using FDM v11.1.1.3.00 the file-encoding is defaulted to Unicode. It might be helpful to contact support.
It could be your DB isn't setup to handle unicode characters (in this event the information would be stored in the SQL*Loader or MSSQL Logs). It could also be the file you are trying to import actually isn't "unicode" but more of a local ANSI/ASCII format.
Most 'European' characters were supported in that release; and I know several clients that use it as expected.
Thank you,

Junk symbols for asian language characters in PO PDF

Hi,
We have a custom program to generate the PO output and I have changed it to send the PO output to multiple emails/users using the steps given in the below link.
The issue I'm facing is that when the PDF is generated and emailed,if I open the PDF in the email,for asian language characters in the PO data,I see wierd symbols.
Has anyone faced this issue?
This is happening for even the standard PO output/email which is sent out which indicates that this is something with the WINDOWS/ADOBE settings .
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
You have to make sure that the spool was created by the correct device type which does support
the language, you can change to the cascading device type SWINCF in SPAD, all unicode characters
can be handled by this device type, note 812821.
Secondly, goto SCOT-> Settings-> Device Types for Format Converstion, here you must set the
correct device type too, you can change the device type to also SWINCF here for the used form language.
Best regards,
Wen Peng

A resource in this file uses an unknown language (for default MFC project)

Visual Studio 2013. I created a default MCF project and tried to open rc-file via Resource View. No custom changes were made.
I got an error: "A resource in this file uses an unknown language: Neutral (Default) (unknown sub-lang: 0x3). Unable to open this file." I used AFX_TARG_ENU: language 9 (english), sublanguage 1. There is no language value
in my project defined as 0x3 in winnt.h.

Hi JGANOL,
Based on your issue, could you please tell me if you get same error when you re-create a new Resource Script File in the MFC project?
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hcctd63y.aspx
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sxdy04be.aspx
(1) If you get same error message, I suggest you try to reset the VS setting file by going to the Tools->Import and Export Settings... check this issue again.
If it still could not help you, maybe you will need to repair or re-install the VS2013 check this issue again.
(2)If you did not get same error message, I think that the issue may be related to the specified the MFC project. So I suggest you can tell me the detail steps about how you create a MFC project.

LINUX compiled fmx: Specific language characters showed as "?"

Hi:
I develop under windows IDS 9i and compile forms in Linux with f90genm.sh. The problem is that specific language characters such as "cgsmb" etc, are showed as "?" !
What's wrong ? It's a bug or a non-functionality in FMB files between plataforms ?
Thanks
Joao Oliveira

Is it possible that your font on Linux doesn't contain those characters? Using that font in another application, can you see those characters? If so, what happens when you copy-and-paste them into Forms?

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with custome

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with "customer reserve" language (Z1).
We have positive experience on one system for certain business partner in Macedonia (there is no Macedonian language to install as SAP standard) by using "customer reserve" language (Z1).
Now we are about to introduce other system with same approach. The trouble is that after entering Macedonian language on an cost center with language Z1 on first language and transfering it via idoc we get hashes("#") instead of characters on second language
What could be the reason? I suplemented with english (as on the first system where everything is ok) the "Customer reserve"(Z1) language normaly(with default settings).
On first system this was not done by me.
Should supplementation be done specificly?.(how to find settings for supplemention on first system?)
Please give me a hint

Hi,
To check supplement language go to T-code, SMLT ->Language ->Special actions->Supplementaion
you can get more information from below SDN thread.
Cyrilic char not coming properly
Below SAP help document gives you how to find supplement language & installation of languaes.

Cloning causes report to be printed in an unknown language....

After sucessfully cloning EBS R12 the reports in the instance are getting printed in an unknown language although the default language is English.Can any one help in resolving this issue??

Check all variables which point to the source node mount points and replace it with the directory paths of the target nodes. Check your env files as well (in case you have customization). Once you're done, bounce the CM and check then.
